Arthur Miller is the author of the play "The Crucible," which describes the Salem Witch Trials in a dramatized and fictionalized way. The play was intended to serve as an allegory for McCarthyism. McCarthyism is the name of a doctrine named after senator Joseph McCarthy. This doctrine advocated persecution of communist sympathizers, often without evidence and when the accused had not committed a crime. Miller himself suffered as a result of this doctrine, as he was questioned by the House of Representatives' Committee on Un-American Activities in 1956, and convicted of contempt of Congress. He believed these trials were a "witch hunt" similar to that of Salem hundreds of years earlier. Therefore, the purpose of writing this play was to bring attention to these issues and force people to reflect on the morality and legality of this persecution.
